Meta Description - Use It..

[SunPoker.com]

Just thought I would share. I found this at revenews.com..

Google apparently has let another cat out of the bag. Now any respectable SEO will make sure that you always use unique Meta and Title Tags ... but, trust me I know a lot that do not, nor do they recommend that you should use them. Well, now it is official (IMO) - Google's Vanessa Fox responded to a post in Google Groups asking about the use of the Meta Description tag.

"Looking at your site in the search results, it appears that your pages would be well served by meta description tags. For most queries, the generated snippet is based on where the query terms are found on the page, and in those cases, your results are fine. But for some more generic queries, where a logical snippet isn't found in the text, the generated snippet seems to be coming from the first bits of text from the page -- in this case, boilerplate navigation that is the same for every page."

... basically, use them ... enough said
